Registration

Our licensees ensure that your privacy is protected when browsing their website.

When you register on our licensees’ website, we need to know your name, at least one of your delivery addresses, your email address and a contact number. These are used to verify your identity, and to enable us to deliver any orders you may place with us.

Your password

Customer assistance

If the need arises to contact one of our licensees you might be asked certain questions that will enable them to verify you or your company’s identity. These measures are in place to help prevent possible fraudulent activity on your account.

Promotions

Once you've chosen to subscribe to our promotions at registration, we'll be sending you the current promotions or special offerings we might have from time to time.
